So saw who was the best army thread etc and think well for an army to be effective they need a good leader for their units...
So in your opinion and why, who was the best General of WW2 (includes & Feldmarschals)
Personally: Konstantin Rokossovsky
Why: This guy played a major role in nearly all of the Soviet Offences and Defences on the Eastern front from Moskva, Stalingrad, Kursk, Smolensk and Warszaw this guy general had the technical ability to stop and attack the germans.
He had the bravery to tell Stalin what had to be done to get the victory and in all occasions he was correct and Stalin called him a saviour. Apart from that the Polish General was a massive conductor for the Soviet Armies and won countless battles and massively outthinked his German Counterparts

Interesting. But Rommel it's better!

I doubt it, the Americans were in Africa too had Bazooka's as well as Shermans, very good gear.
As for D-day, it was unstoppable as too many men landed. If you land enough men, you will win. Even as it was, the units present defending at D-day were multiple times stronger than standard German infantry units, they had an awful lot of heavy weaponry.

D-Day was inevitable the defendants weren't as the Germans would have said "For the cause" it focused of mainly POW's and civilians forced into the SS and Wehrmacht.
SS Units were kept behind the beaches for counter-attacks such as Kurt Meyers and Joachim Peipers units.
The amount of numbers landing there and being bombarded by the British Navy it was only going one way the Germans were supplied very well with such:
Dug in: Pz IV H & Tigers
MG42, MP40s, Land Mines, TD's, Flak Guns and much more...

Sarcasm is the lowest form of humour. Besides, I could not tell thanks to your poor English and lack of arms knowledge in other threads.

I never once said that, you failed to understand what I said, which was BAR stands for Browning Automatic Rifle.

A typo, which you make plenty of. You are not meant to have a capital in the middle of a sentence anyways, and if you do for a fully-worded acronym, you use caps on all first letters.

The Best general of WW2 is Rommel and Zhukoov.

No, I said it was not. Jeez, read back over it.

Relax folks. But Rommel was the best general as a person and as a tactician. However, his one big flaw was stretching his supply lines too long in North Africa. It helped my favourite unit of all times carry out raids, the LRDG.
The past is a foreign country.

What happened with Patton! He is very good general.

Extremely good, and by far the best Allied general in the West, but a mite too agressive. And he kinda messed up at Sicily.
